Review of Recruited

Recruited (2013)
8/10
Sad little movie
12 June 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This movie begins with brother's and sister's final talk before he is recruited by US army marines. His girlfriend is also pregnant, he is about to become a father, and if he dies in a battle nothing will ever be the same for those people. After a long talk and sister's tears, he promises that one day he'll return and that he will be there when she graduates. But unfortunately he couldn't keep the promise! Now when her brother is gone, little girl graduated without him by her side, without him to give her life advice, and she is completely lost. Now she is making a big life mistake of joining the US army voluntarily, probably feeling that somehow it will get her closer to her brother. I strongly disagree with previous reviewer because movie had nothing to do with "sacrifice" or "serving for the country". This is one sad short movie that describes entire lost generations (like Nikki is), meaningless of war, while there are no winners in war, only losers.
